ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
"Character ancl Character Building"
was the general subject discussed by
the Luther League on Sunday evening under the leadership of Lowell
Adams. A good attendance ancl a fine
discussion of the subject marked this
meeting. We appreciate the promptness of those in attendance; let's
keep it up. After the inspiring convention enjoyed Thanksgiving week a
new interest in our work should be
taken by all of our young people.
The League is planning oh undertaking some big things in the new year
just before us. We need a 100% cooperation on part of all of our young
folks. Our next, meeting will be held
one week from Sunday evening, Mrs.
Catherine Danner, leader.
Our Sunday-school attendance took
a slump last Sunday. Why should a
little snow ahd ice keep so many
away from Bible study? We have
three more Sundays to complete our
records for 1926. We have been on
the upgrade throughout the year, let
us not become slack as we are near-
ing the goal. The winter months are
the test of your loyalty to our Bible
school and of your real desire to
study the Word. Some seem to be
forgetting we begin at 9 a. m. A little more promptness on part of
teachers ancl pupils is much needed.
Be on time.
Nominations for the annual election
of officers have been completed by the

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Christmas is coming, ancl Santa is
near; it is time to be good. Monday
night Margaret and Bill went to Albert Conrad's to hear Santa over the
radio. He was speaking for Cleveland
and he actually called Margaret's
name out—"Hello, Margaret Cossaboom." So we all hacl better be good
if we do not want to offend him before Ghristmas.
Yes, it is near, and here are other
reasons. Thursday night of this very
week the women of the Church are
giving their annual bazaar and
chicken supper, and that is a sure
enough reason to believe that Christmas is drawing near. Then our bulletin board says that a White Christmas program is planned for Sunday
night, December 12. This service will
be given by'the young people of the
church, and at this service gifts will
be brought for benevolence, material i
gifts of food and money and gifts of i
self. This will be a very attractive
service as well as a very spiritual.

a matin service is being prepared for
Christmas morning at 6:30. This will
be a worship service consisting of
music and other great elements "of
worship. The church decorating com-!

these services. j
These are reasons sufficient to con-'

CHRISTMAS SEALS
SEEN EVERYWHERE
Mayor Becher Is Helping Boost
the Little Stickers—Mrs. R.
C. Willigmann Feels North
Canton Will Do Its Share.
FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
Mrs. R. C. Willigmann, general
chairman, expressed her appreciation
of the action of The Ladies' Literary
club in backing to-the limit the sale of
Christmas seals in North Canton and
its vicinity.
"This is a cause that deserves the
support of everyone," said Mrs. Willigmann, "ancl in North Canton it is
easier to sell seals than in many other
towns, 1 have been told. As you know,
the object is to raise money for the
purpose of fighting the dreaded disease known as tuberculosis. Fortunately the cases are few here, but
there are many places where the inhabitants suffer from it.
"North Canton, I feel sure, will live
up to its past record as a contributor
and /supporter of everything for the
public welfare. Our people are prosperous, generous and intelligent, consequently they realize that they are
doing humanity a seryice by buying
Christmas seals."
Mayor Becher a Booster
Maj/or Logan W. Becher is another
booster for the little stickers. "It is
a great work men and women are
doing in behalf of the sick and it deserves the support of the public," he
said to a writer for The Sun. "What
appeals to me,''- he added, "is that
the sale of these seals gives an honest
and capable organization the funds to
nip tuberculosis when it first appears.
Prevention is what we need when
clanger of any kind threatens, not
waiting until it takes firm root."
Supports County Nurse
The money realized from tlie purchase of Christmas seals, according to
Arthur Koch, executive secretary of
the Stark County Public Health
League, supports a nurse in this
county who gives her entire time to
the care and prevention of tuberculosis in the county. There is a nurse
doing similar work in Canton, Massillon, ancl Alliance. Their combined
efforts at the present time show 254
active cases. - •

HAIRCUT PRICES
Mike Metzler and E. R. Mays Will
Charge 50 Cents Straight.
The two barber shops in North Canton, one owned by "Mike" Metzler, and
the other by E. R. Mays, have decided
to change the prevailing scale of
prices, beginning Dec. 15, to conform
with standard union prices.
After the above date all haircuts,
including ladies' shingle bobs, will cose
50 cents.
This is a reduction of 10 cents for
the ladies ancl an increase of 10 cents
for the men. So, as a matter of fact,
it makes little or no difference in the
accounts of the boss barbers except
to keep their shops in line with the
standard prices.
The boss barbel's of North Canton
have long enjoyed a reputation for
fair dealing and keeping sanitary and
up to date tonsorial parlors. Their
workmen are courteous and competent. If they were otherwise they
would not stay long in the employ
of Mike or Mays.
The barbers of North Canton have
shops that would do credit to a large
city and they well deserve the support they are receiving.

tied with yellow and gold ribbon, yellow pom pom in bud vases, yellow
nut cups and yellow napkins.

"Character ancl Character Building"
was the general subject discussed by
the Luther League on Sunday evening under the leadership of Lowell
Adams. A good attendance ancl a fine
discussion of the subject marked this
meeting. We appreciate the promptness of those in attendance; let's
keep it up. After the inspiring convention enjoyed Thanksgiving week a
new interest in our work should be
taken by all of our young people.

folks. Our next, meeting will be held
one week from Sunday evening, Mrs.

Our Sunday-school attendance took
a slump last Sunday. Why should a

away from Bible study? We have
three more Sundays to complete our
records for 1926. We have been on
the upgrade throughout the year, let
us not become slack as we are near-
ing the goal. The winter months are
the test of your loyalty to our Bible
school and of your real desire to
study the Word. Some seem to be
forgetting we begin at 9 a. m. A little more promptness on part of
teachers ancl pupils is much needed.
Be on time.

Yes, it is near, and here are other
reasons. Thursday night of this very

giving their annual bazaar and

enough reason to believe that Christmas is drawing near. Then our bulletin board says that a White Christmas program is planned for Sunday
night, December 12. This service will

CHRISTMAS SEALS
SEEN EVERYWHERE
Mayor Becher Is Helping Boost
the Little Stickers—Mrs. R.
C. Willigmann Feels North
Canton Will Do Its Share.
FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS
Mrs. R. C. Willigmann, general
chairman, expressed her appreciation
of the action of The Ladies' Literary
club in backing to-the limit the sale of
Christmas seals in North Canton and
its vicinity.
"This is a cause that deserves the
support of everyone," said Mrs. Willigmann, "ancl in North Canton it is
easier to sell seals than in many other
towns, 1 have been told. As you know,
the object is to raise money for the
purpose of fighting the dreaded disease known as tuberculosis. Fortunately the cases are few here, but
there are many places where the inhabitants suffer from it.
"North Canton, I feel sure, will live
up to its past record as a contributor
and /supporter of everything for the
public welfare. Our people are prosperous, generous and intelligent, consequently they realize that they are
doing humanity a seryice by buying
Christmas seals."
Mayor Becher a Booster
Maj/or Logan W. Becher is another
booster for the little stickers. "It is
a great work men and women are
doing in behalf of the sick and it deserves the support of the public," he
said to a writer for The Sun. "What
appeals to me,''- he added, "is that
the sale of these seals gives an honest
and capable organization the funds to
nip tuberculosis when it first appears.
Prevention is what we need when
clanger of any kind threatens, not
waiting until it takes firm root."
Supports County Nurse
The money realized from tlie purchase of Christmas seals, according to
Arthur Koch, executive secretary of
the Stark County Public Health
League, supports a nurse in this
county who gives her entire time to
the care and prevention of tuberculosis in the county. There is a nurse
doing similar work in Canton, Massillon, ancl Alliance. Their combined
efforts at the present time show 254
active cases. - •

HAIRCUT PRICES
Mike Metzler and E. R. Mays Will
Charge 50 Cents Straight.
The two barber shops in North Canton, one owned by "Mike" Metzler, and
the other by E. R. Mays, have decided
to change the prevailing scale of
prices, beginning Dec. 15, to conform
with standard union prices.
After the above date all haircuts,
including ladies' shingle bobs, will cose
50 cents.
This is a reduction of 10 cents for
the ladies ancl an increase of 10 cents
for the men. So, as a matter of fact,
it makes little or no difference in the
accounts of the boss barbers except
to keep their shops in line with the
standard prices.
The boss barbel's of North Canton
have long enjoyed a reputation for
fair dealing and keeping sanitary and
up to date tonsorial parlors. Their
workmen are courteous and competent. If they were otherwise they
would not stay long in the employ
of Mike or Mays.
The barbers of North Canton have
shops that would do credit to a large
city and they well deserve the support they are receiving.
